\f0\fs24 \cf0 To compile My Dream Slapper, you need a copy of the MCPKit framework, from http://mysql-cocoa.sourceforge.net. \
\
I was unable to succesfully compile a Universal Binary of this framework, so I downloaded the CocoaSQL application and used the framework inside of it.  \
\
Place MCPKit.framework into the Resources folder.  Then, switch to the active build configuration to Debug using the Project menu in the menubar.\
\
---\
\
You will also need to configure your database.  To do this, create the database and an admin user and then use the PopulateSlapper.sql script to create the necessary tables.  \
\
You will need to configure at least one My Dream Slapper user.  Users who may make modifications to the Slapper database are found in the sql_users table.  The "user_id" column should map to a "realname" column in the "users" table.  Users who are using My Dream Slapper should have the appropriate privileges on the Slapper database.\
\
You should populate your "submissions" and "users" databases with your contest submission data.  It is perfectly fine for these to be updated with new contest submissions while My Dream Slapper is in active use - these two tables are both read-only for My Dream Slapper, and The Slapper will automatically pick up new additions to them.\
\
Finally, configure connection settings by editing the "MySQL Names" section of the Resources/English.lproj/Localizable.strings file.  \
\
Enjoy The Slapper!\
